RenĂ©-Louis de Voyer de Paulmy, marquis d카지노 게임 컬렉션™Argenson (1694-1757), minister of state and author, was one of the boldest critics of the social and political structure of Old Regime France to put pen to paper in the eighteenth century. His ConsidĂ©rations sur le gouvernement ancien et prĂ©sent de la France advanced a scathing indictment of the existing order alongside a far-reaching reform plan to spread democracy and obviate aristocracy within the monarchy. Manuscripts of the ConsidĂ©rations circulated clandestinely among philosophes and other political writers such as the abbĂ© Saint-Pierre, Voltaire, and Rousseau until its posthumous publication in 1764.
